A good sell for whisk(e)y

Craig Ferguson
Fettercairn is a Scottish whisky distiller.

OK, so who said it isn't?

Regrettably, "The Late, Late Show With Craig Ferguson" on Friday night called it a "whiskey" distillery, throwing in the " e" eschewed by the Scots.

Also regrettably, the show that featured a heavily edited and only mildly diverting account of the late-night show's visit to Ferguson's native land (his trip to Paris last year was much more entertaining on all levels) had very little mention, besides joking comments, of Scotland's No. 2 industry that trails only North Sea oil drilling.
